“1621, Sep. Baptized Ananias, son of Ananias Jarratt, glassmaker.”—Stepney.
Sapphira occurs in Bunhill Fields:
“Here lyeth the body of Mrs. Sapphira Lightmaker, wife of Mr. Edward Lightmaker, of Broadhurst, in Sussex, gent. She died in the Lorde, Dec. 20, 1704, aged 81 years.”
She was therefore born in 1633. Her brother (they were brought up Presbyterians) was Robert Leighton, who died Archbishop of Glasgow.
Drusilla, again, was objectionable, but perchance her character was less historically known then:
“1622. Baptized Drusilla, d. of Thomas Davis.”—Ludlow.
Antipas, curiously enough, was almost popular, although a murderer and an adulterer:
“1633, Feb. 28. Baptized Antipas, sonne of Robert Barnes, of Shadwell.”—Stepney.
“1662. Petition of Antipas Charrington.”—“Cal. St. P. Dom.”
“1650. Antipas Swinnerton, Tedbury, wollman.”—“Tokens of Seventeenth Century.”
